Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson's Ankle Injury to Sideline Him for 2 Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson will miss at least two weeks because of his latest ankle injury, according to Jason Lloyd of the Athletic.

The team had previously announced he would "miss multiple games," but his timeline was unclear after spraining his ankle in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Thompson is in the midst of arguably the worst year of his career, averaging 6.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Meanwhile, his struggles on the court have only been part of the problem. His durability had been a major strength since joining the NBA, missing only four regular-season games over the past five seasons.
